The earthquake in Japan was an incredible tragedy . . . but the way the country has handled the aftermath has been even more incredible. They haven't been looting, they haven't been rioting, and they've been doing everything they can to recover.
And here's another insane anecdote that shows just how much the people of Japan have pulled together: One of the groups that's doing what it can to pitch in on the relief effort is the Yakuza . . . THE JAPANESE MAFIA.
The three largest Yakuza groups . . . which would be comparable to the three largest Italian mafia crime families . . . have been contributing TONS of goods to the regions that were destroyed.
They've been sending in trucks with everything from diapers, to batteries, to food.
An anonymous Yakuza member spoke to the press and told them, quote, "There are no Yakuza or ordinary citizens or foreigners in Japan right now. We are all Japanese. We all need to help each other."
They're trying to keep their donations mostly anonymous, though . . . people might be afraid to take them if they think that will make them indebted to the mafia. But it seems like there's no ulterior motive . . . they really do just want to help.
